Harmless tradition.

Grace Randolph is a friend of mine... she is really great at what she does.

Winning thread.

For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so he could have mercy on everyone.-- It doesn't read: For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so he WILL have mercy on everyone. The wording of the verse does not categorically include everyone will receive mercy. It may be that...

You are changing the word of God and replacing it with your own words and then building a mistaken theology around your misinterpretations. You are interchanging the words trial, temptation, and test as if they are interchangeable. They are not. But you have already demonstrated a resistance...

I'll put it this way... ~(I like the cut of your jib)

Same reason the math teacher tests us after the lesson is presented. It's one thing to hear the Word, it's another thing to put it into practice. I can read all I want about brain surgery... but would you want me to do it on you or someone who has actually done the procedure hundreds of times...

You are vacillating on the meaning of mercy... there is a big difference between the mercy we show between each other in flesh and blood and the mercy God the Father shows us which leads to salvation.

I asked two questions that both can not be answered with a single yes. Yes, you are saying that OR Yes, I am missing the mark?

Then what you are describing is not mercy. What you are describing is merit, earning your way into heaven.

That is my point entirely. God gives mercy, period. The few that receive it were already chosen before He said "Let there be light"

Pegg, God answers your question in the same verse you are quoting. "I WILL have mercy on whom I will have mercy". Mercy is IMPOSSIBLE TO BE DESERVED!!!!! If it were deserved then it ceases to be mercy! Mercy is, by definition, an UNDESERVED pardon. There is no way possible to place ourselves...

No, your statement attributed to Darby the INTENT of creating division in the Body of Christ, which was not his stated intent. The result is certainly that, but his intentions were certainly not as sinister as Luther's Diabolical Shirt.

Debating about The Rapture online is very much like this: Except those who deny the Doctrine of the Rapture aren't Asian. ;)

But that opens the door for the criticism leveled at Job, "Does Job fear God for nothing?" That is, Satan is accusing God of buying Job's fidelity with material wealth. Do we put our trust in Christ because we fear Hell or do we put our trust in Christ because He is faithful and true.

Your statement "If he judges a person as worthy of saving, he will save them..." is actually disproved by the verses you cite and your statement is false in this manner: The common verse between them is from the OT, "I [The Lord] will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy..." In both...

I am running the door but there is a good reason... Tell ya all abOut it when I get back from the zgiant eagle

That is a far cry from Darby seeking to separate God's "Plan of Salvation" in your previous statement. The above is much less lunatic fringe and can be debated amongst earnst believers. Thanks for the clairfication.

Prayer wasn't given to us as an avenue to change God's mind, He gave us the opportunity of prayer with Him to change OUR minds.
